Back in 2010 we introduced you, our beloved readers, to the Garmin Forerunner 110, a GPS fitness watch that was also easy to use. Fast foreword 3 years later and we have a number of other products in the Forerunner line. One of these is the Garmin Forerunner 410.

Going to the doctors sucks. Spending time at the hellscape known as the “hospital” is even worse. So, whenever technology makes it easier to receive the care we need in the comforts of our own home(and Netflix accounts) it is a very good thing indeed. In the past decade or so, since phones and computing technology have gotten better, in-home care has drastically improved. Of course, wearable...
This whole smart watch craze had to start somewhere. Just where did watches that do everything your phone does come from? Well, crafty designers have always been trying to make watches do more then simply tell the time. Since the 1970s, there have been watches that doubled as calculators, played games and more. Oh yeah. There have also been watches that helped us exercise for quite a few years now....

In short, yes they can. We’ve written about wearable technology for...
We talk a lot(exclusively) about wearable technology on this blog. Sure, this tech is as varied as a snowflake but most of it has one thing in common, it is aimed toward those who can walk and talk. But what about babies?! When will the innocent, ever-pooping future adults get a chance to experience the splendor of wearable tech? Unfortunately, they don’t do...
Summer is almost here. You know what that means. It’s almost time to hang out at the beach, or in a backyard, in less clothes than you usually wear. That means you have approximately six weeks to get in fighting shape. Of course, sitting on your computer and reading blogs won’t help you do that(as much as we like having you here.) No, you are gonna need...
In case you haven’t been reading this blog, or any blog for that matter, wearable technology is blowing up. Game changing items like Google Glass have destroyed the glass ceiling and turned it into a, uh, wearable glass ceiling that sends you information and connects with your smartphone. Wait what? In any event, the hits keep on coming. Another great helmet...

Even on nice days, it certainly is hard to muster up the get-up-and-go that is necessary in order to complete a workout routine. Perhaps some human beings just aren’t equipped to do this kind of thing of their own accord, when their only reward is self satisfaction. We are social animals, after all.
